Philippines' Meralco looking to utilize LNG-fed power plants

Meralco is in the middle of assessing the feasibility of putting up LNG-fed power plants.

Oscar S. Reyes, the company president and CEO said they are looking into putting up LNG-fired power plants in Batangas and Quezon.

“We are hoping to probably finish these studies in the first half of next year. By then, we should have a clearer view unless we find something that needs further validation,” he added.
